! ing is tho most musical district in tho
city. A largo proportion Of the inhabi-
tants consist of the better class of col
ored people, and the stunning OF
guitars and the picking of banjos may
be heard on every block. There is So
cial element in JanitOrs' Town also,
which models itself after Murray Hill.
There are cliques and jcalousies there
which rival those of the ''upper ten. "
Many of the ianitors are moderately
well off. Some are wealthy, and these
very naturally consider themselves bet
ter than their neighbors, so that there
are social grades existing among them
with lines as well defined as those which
separate the upper classes.
Among the wealthiest ianitor5 in the
city may be mentioned Thomas Cleary,
of the Equitable Building. His yearly
income from perquisites alone amounts
to thousands of dollars He owns con-
siderable property and lives in first-class
style. William Evans, janitOr of the
building owned by Brown Brothers Il
Co., is reputed to be worth considerable
money. During the summer months he
goes out of town torecuperate his health,
occupying q comfortable cottage on
Staten Island. Henry Schneider, of
the New York Clearing House, owns sew
eral tanement-houses and considerable
real estate in different parts of the city.
He is nh intelligent German, frugal iii
his habits and honest as the day. He
drives handsome turnout, i'll which he
takes his friends to Coney Island or
some other resort in the vicinity of New
York after his days work is over. Mr..
Smith, ianitor of the Bank of New York,
a colored man, is also the possessor of a
fine turnout. His wealth amounts to
between $150,000 and 100000. Mr..
Matthews, of the Continental Bank
building, is probably the richest janitor
in the city. He, also, is a colored gen.
tleman. He owns a piece of unim-
proved real estate uptown for which he
refused an offer of 100000 some years
ago. He owns large number of houses
besides, and it would be difficult toplace
an exact estimate upon his wealth. just
how these men are enabled to accumu-
late money SO rapidly is easy to deter
mine In the first place it costs them
nothing for rent. Apartments are set
apart for their use. They receive mod
crately large salaries, i'll many instances
have the privilege of supplying midday
meals to several large offices, and in all
instances receive perquisites from the
different offices in the buildings they
look after. A few years of economy,
with judicious investments of the money
saved, and they are Independent men.

LIEUT.. KISLINGBURY,s DEATH.
His Brother Bound to Find Out
Why He Starved to Death on the
Greedy Expedition.

John P. Kislingbury, of Rochester,
who is brother of Lieutenant Freder-
lex Kislingbury, the second in COM
mand of the Greedy expedition, was in
the city the other day, says the n. Y.
Tribune The object of his visit was to
communicate personally with some of
the Arctic survivors regarding a reopen
ing of the Government inquiry concern
ing the expedition. A point which he
claims has never received attention is
this: Lieutenant Kislingbury died from
starvation on June 1, yet on June 6
Lieutenant (now GeneraD Greedy or
dered a man shot, and he was shot wiz:
G. B. Henry, otherwise known as Book
for stealing provisions. Mr.. Kisling-
bury would like to know how it came
about, if there were provisions to steal
on June /, that his brother could die
from starvation on June 6. Mr.. Kis
lngbury reiterates the statement that
there was no flesh left upon his brothers
body when it was received by him from
the authorities at the Navy Yard, except
npon the head, hands and feet, and
states also that an examination of the
dead mans stomach by expert chemists
proved that no food had entered it for
six weeks before death.
One of the survivors whom Mr.. ks
hngbury came here to see is Henry Bic
derrick, the hospital steward of the
Greedy expedition, who is now an in
spector of customs at this port. Mr..
Biederbick was averse to saying much
regarding the death of Lieutenant Kis-
lingbury or as to the alleged post -mortem
cannibaism, but he freely expressed his
opinion about the want of appreciation
shown the men who risked their lives
and died horrible deaths by the House
of Representatives, which killed the
Senate bill giving them back pay
amounting to $703.75 each, which was
due the enlisted survivors or their legal
representatives. AS a consequence of
this Mr.. Biederbick says that the widow
of d. @. Balston, a sergeant of the
United States Signal Corps and a men,
Der of the expedition, is now in poor
house in Massachusetts, and that the
widow of W. H. Cross, an engineer,
who also died a martyr to the cause in
the Arctic regions, is in destitute condi-
ton in Washington.
Mr.. Kislingbury says that he will
never rest satisfied until the facts which
he declares have beer withheld from the
public in relation to the expedition and
which will srlbstantiate charges Of in
competency and bad conduct on the part
of General Greedy are laid bare.

NEW YORK'S JANITORS.

Janitors' Town is that portion of New
York which extends from Beekman
street to Beaver and from Broadway to
Pearl street. There is not single
Westinghouse to be found within its
boundaries. The inhabitants for the
most part live on the top floors of large
business buildings, and consist of JAM
tors and their families. During the day,
when the streets are thronged with peo-
pie hurrying to and fro i'll pursuit of
their various vOcatiOns, the peculiar fea-
lures which characterize the life of Jan
ltors' Town are hidden from view; but

BESSIE DIES OF GRIEF.
Striking Instance of a Dogs Attach
mcnt to Its Dead Mistress
[From the Gainesville (Ga.) Courant.

From the Gainesville (Ga.) Courant
Several years ago lady in this place
gave to one of Mr.. J. Il. Ovens chill
dren poodle dog, which proved to be a
very affectionate creature, and from its
first entering the house it became very
much attached to Mrs. Owen. 1t was
always playful and delighted in moth
ing SO much as being noticed, receiving
the caressos of visitors as gladly as
child, and gifted with reason.
During the protracted illness of Mrs.
Owen the pet would, at meal time, go to
its mistress to be fed, where it received
its meals regularly from her hand.
During the last few days of Mrs. Ow-
ems lines, when she was unable to give
it the accustomed attention, it was no
ticed even by those who hadEbeen visit
ing the house that ''BeSsie" had lost her
spirit of playfulness and looked defect
ed. When her mistress died, on the
18th of April last, Bessie took position
under her bed, and when her body was
placed in the coffin, she then changed
her position and remained under the
coffin until the remains were taken from
the house. For days afterward she
chung to that room, lying in chair be-
side the bed, and although she had new
er been known to get on bed before,
she would, after the death of her mis-
tress, jump on the bed and scratch down
the cover, evidently hunting for her best
lost friend, refusing for most of the time
to eat for days at time, eating SO little
that it seemed that she must necessarily
die from starvation. OCCASIONALLY she
made an effort to rally, but would in
short time relapse into the same state of
gloom and dependency.
For the last few weeks she had al
most entirely abstained from food, I'M
til she becSne living skeleton. On
last Sunday morning when the family
arose and opened the door, little Bessie
crawled from her comfortable bed on
the back piazza and softly crept into the
room of her young mistress, and stretch
ed herself upon the floor under the foot
of the bed and died without struggle.
Her action from the day she lost her
mistress showed plainly that she was
grieving deeply, and called forth much
tender sympathy, and added grief to
those who already had their load to
bear, but who had reason to support

THE SONG OF TIE BEE

Buzz, buzz, buzz!
This is the song of the bee.
His legs are of yellow,
A jolly good fellow,
And yet COOL worker is he.
In days that are sunny,
He's getting his honey;
In days that are cloudy,
He's boarding his wax;
On pinks and on lilies,
And gay daffodillies,
And columbine blossoms
He levieS tax.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
The sweet smelling clover
He humming hangs over;
The scent of the roses
Makes fragrant his wings;
He never gets lazy,
From thistle and daisy
And weeds of the meadow
Some treasure he brings.
Buzz, buzz, buzzl
From mornings first gray light
Till fading of daylight,
He's singing and toiling
The summer day through,
Oh! we may get weary,
And think work is dreary;
It's harder by far
To have nothing to do.
